Science Writers Discuss Ethics Of Cloning

3-18-97

University Park, PA -- Terry D. Etherton, distinguished professor of animal nutrition at Penn State, will lead a lunchtime round table discussion on "The Ethical Implications of Cloning." The round table is hosted by the Penn State Chapter of the National Association of Science Writers, Wednesday, March 26, at noon in room 114 Kern Building.

Recent reports of the cloning of a sheep in England have once again brought the question of the application of biological principles and practices to humans and other animal to the forefront. Science writers need to know the questions to ask to evaluate both the scientific and ethical implications of research.

NASW lunchtime programs are open to anyone interested in science communication. For more information contact A'ndrea Messer, aem1@psu.edu or 865-9421.
